Orbi 4G LTE Advanced Modem + Tri-Band Mesh WiFi - AC2200 LTE Mesh Router (LBR20)

My question is does the Orbi 4G LTE Advanced Modem + Tri-Band Mesh WiFi - AC2200 LTE Mesh Router (LBR20) Broadband Modem/WiFi Router work equally well with a Voice SIM or Data SIM only or both???

 

T Mobile tells me that most major cellular carriers provide data SIMS that are limited to 50 GB per billing period typically used in a hot spot. This approach, while useful as a backup, limits the AC220 to 50 GB and makes it a challenge to replace cable services or other ISPs on a fill time basis with this 4G LTE Tri Mesh Modem if you stream quite a bit. The carriers can also proivide a TRULY unlimited data VOICE and DATA SIM making the AC2200 more useful as a full time ISP.  If you casn use a Voice and Data SIM with unlimited vice and data, you can truly take advantage of uinlimited data and use the AC 2200 as a fulltime ISP replacement.  The indication was that some celluar modems are only compatible with a Data SIMs it you install a voice SIM, it won't recognize the SIM and will fail to operate. 

 

Please acdvise....
